Abstract

Operation Shaddock was the name given to the deployment of a major field medical unit of 58 Australian Defence Force medical and other personnel to Vanimo, in northwestern Papua New Guinea. Hundreds of victims of the tsunami disaster were treated and more than 200 surgical procedures performed in a 10-day mission.
